ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
A Scene that Beggars Description
at Castle Garden.

NEW lOhh, LldAth 30 III
dred and nineteen of the passengers OF
the wrecked Scotia arrived On the sea
barge Haggerty, at Castle Garden,
late yesterday afternoon. The scene
that followed beggars description.
They rushed into the rotunda pell nell,
shrieking and bowling for food like
ravenous wolves. They crowded
around the lunch tables, climbing over
each other, and trampling on helpless
women and children, and pandemo-
MUM reigned supreme for fully az
hour. 1t is customary to register all
emigrants before they enter the ro-
tunda, but red-tape was broken on
this occasion by Superintendent Jack
son. The force of the mass OF people
was so great that the officers who were
| stationed to keep order were swept
aside like straws. The seething mass
| could not be restrained. Superintend-
| ent Jackson gave orders to give them
all the food they needed, and charge
ii to the Commissioners OF Immigra-
ton. Then the distribution OF food
began. 1t was impossible to regulate
| the distribution. Strong her crowded
to the front with uplifted arms, and
| their eyes starting from their sockets,
| CRYING in Italian for bread bread +"
The surging mob vas utterly uncon-
trollable. The officers at the garden
aided the distribution by throwing
leaves over the heads of the nearest
and to others Of the crowd. Every
| time a loaf was fired into the crowd
twenty or more scrambled, and in
some cases fought to get it. Dry bread
was a luxury. In a short time all the
food was gone. The women and chill
dren were cared for, milk and beer be-
ing added to their portion. The COM
plants of the unfortunate immigrants
were most unfavorable to the COM
pany, and particularly to the Captain
OF the Scotia. Seventy additional
passengers, who came by rail from
Patchogue, arrived about 8 O'Clock
last night. They were transferred
from Long Island City on the steam
boat John L Moores. They were ever
more ravenous than the others. They
were fed at the garden, a fresh supply
of provisions having been obtained
Many of the Italians were sick from
eating after their long fast. Several
writhed in agony on the floor Of the
rotunda. Some of their countrymen
who met them here, say women, who
composed, with their children, the
largest portion of the number, com
planned loudly OF bad treatment. They
said they could not get food or water
enough during the voyage.
